- ^ Konrad, Leslie & Peuramaki 2007:
It won't be long before companies in the province of Ontario, like companies in some other jurisdictions around the world, will be obliged by law to accommodate people with disabilities. These authors, who have extensive experience in researching and implementing workplace disability programs and initiatives, provide a concise and comprehensive "how to" for organizations on everything from defining "disability" to meeting their ultimate obligations.
